Early tango dinner in Buenos Aires with optional hotel pickup, Argentine classics, wine, and a live tango and folklore show at Aljibe Tango.
“Great location, great meal, great show, good value. BUT PLEASE: Tell your Asian guests to put down their cameras and video recorders during the show!! Terribly disruptive and blocked our view of the show. Easily resolved by management making an announcement prior to the show, as we have seen at other such events. Should not be left to waiters to deal with the problem. (We asked, and they didn't.) See attached photo.”

“Great experience. Suggest to do this after any travel tiredness is gone as otherwise it feels like a very long 5hrs. Food portions are huge. Upon exit, if hotel drop off selection picked then you need to go up to take ach driver with your name to see if you are on their bus as multiple buses will be pr sent.”

“The dinner was very good. Of course in Argentina get the steak! The wine was plentiful. The show was fun to watch. Started out with a funny Tango-magician. Then los of tango dancing, singing and the 6 piece orchestra also played by themselves. I have one comment, we were told we would be picked up at 8 pm. Our driver did not get us until 8:40 pm. Seems like we were the last pickup point, but we were not told that. The show was right across the street from our hotel, so we chose to walk home rather than 40 minutes in the van.”
Palacio Tango brings you to Astor Piazzolla Theatre in Buenos Aires, with optional dinner, hotel transfers, and even a tango class.
“I would give this experience 3.5 stars overall. The Tango show itself is excellent but everything else - not so much. The email communication leading up to the show was very confusing. It asked us to be at the theater by 9:30 pm and drop off was included since we weren't staying at a downtown hotel. When we got to the theater, they asked us to pay 300 pesos for the drop off back to the hotel. The show doesn't start until 10:30 pm. It's about an hour and a half and the performers are the real deal not some kind of amateurs. We ordered Pisco sours and they were…”

An elegant Buenos Aires tango show at El Viejo Almacén with live music, singers, dancers, dinner, and downtown hotel pickup.
“We booked very last minute on the day of performance. We had to take our carry on luggage to the show due to flight delay. Managed to store in restaurant but we are seated at very last row, relatively furthest from the stage. The show was a good demonstration of art & skill of tango with a live band. We enjoyed it”

But, the price and duration were perfect. Show started at 10:00 p.m. and ended around 11:20. Dancing and orchestra were both incredible!”
